On September 10, 2020, despite the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, a meeting co-organized by the publisher of the technical magazine “WiOM” and the company Hodowla Roślin Kalinowa sp. z o.o. was held in Kalinowa, a town located in west-central Poland (Greater Poland Voivodeship), to discuss about different methods of soil and crop management with farmers and advisors working on that district.
At the meeting, Dr. Małgorzata Tartanus gave a lecture on “Soil fertility under monoculture: how to maintain it?” where the results of the row and intra-row management obtained from the project trials were presented. The audience was interested particularly in the results on the use of legumes and locally sourced organic fertilizers, such as biogas digestates as fertilizers fostering the soil fertility, and the effects of the growth, on the fruit trees row, of different plant species on the above-ground biodiversity and soil fertility.
